    Watching a president with nuclear authority pick fights by text the way an internet troll argues online produces a special kind of exhaustion.

    I’m eager to see FINALLY media outlets addressing this plainly and clearly. This man is last person in the nuclear chain of command with launch authority. Donald Trump is literally insane and being propped up by a viciously idiotic authoritarian movement installed to take advantage of it. To say it’s dangerous is a cosmic understatement.

    For the past 60 years or so, humanity has had a loaded nuclear shotgun to its head and now a senile wild-eyed narcissist has his finger near the trigger. Of all the horrors we have not yet seen from Trumpism, this is the one I fear the most.

    You elect a demented toddler and you get demented toddler diplomacy.

    WE

    FUCKING

    TOLD

    YOU.

    Yet, demented toddler was somehow better than decent woman in their heads… and here we are now.

      Oh, there was nothing decent about Kamala. There used to be, but she burned all that on the sacred pyre of centrism.

      Still a better choice than the demented toddler, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

        Mate, the other option was demented toddler.

        I’d say not having demented toddler in charge was an extremely decent alternative, even if it’s only because she wasn’t a russian asset planning to destroy the whole western (and possibly the rest of the world too) and with the power to do so.

          I don’t disagree, I just think that if you start retroactively calling Harris a good candidate you’re gonna miss a lot of the reasons why you guys ended up with a second round of Trump.

        This is a self-contradictory statement
